From
Mark Hale and
George A. King III:
“We lost and I didn’t pitch well, I had three walks and I was behind everybody pretty much the whole game,” said Sabathia, who gave up two runs and four hits in seven frames. “That’s not the way you pitch in the postseason.”
“I wish I could stand here and say it was just two pitches. But I was behind pretty much the whole game. I was able to battle back and make some pitches when I need to. But that’s not at all how I’ve been pitching in the postseason.”
“It [stinks],” Sabathia said. “You want to come out and try to set the tone early for the series. But Cliff [Lee] pitched a great game so we’ve got to come back out [tonight] and try to get ’em.”
While I don't think his start was as bad as he does, I'm glad he's being extra hard on himself and didn't make any excuses. Hopefully he has a better night on Sunday.
